Happy to clarify; the crews were assigned to the T34 and IS-6, respectively.

Typically, event crews are automatically retrained to the Tier I vehicle of the corresponding nation. However in this case, the FL Crews are too large to fit into the tier I vehicles which have less slots for crew, so they were assigned to Tier VIII Premiums of that nation.

Either way, retraining would be necessary to put them into a Tech Tree vehicle without penalty, and retraining is not necessary to put them into a Premium vehicle.

Ok... given that... Why the hell would a T-44 MEDIUM crew be changed to an IS-6 HEAVY crew? Does not compute. Is there not a Russian tier 8 premium med?

It's my understanding that we can't assign crews to a tech tree vehicle that has not yet been researched, and not all players have the T32 and T44 researched yet, hence the discrepancy.

That ... actually makes sense. Along with the mitigation for Tier 8 premiums. Good job WG ... purely personal druthers, I would have liked the medium crew for the T-44-100, but undersand that the IS-6 would statistically be the more common vehicle.

Being statistically more common tank, all those IS-6 owner probably have an IS-6 crew.
